An experimental leaf-spring lever bow
jameswoodmot:
That’s a cool bow! Well designed, thought out and executed! I couldn’t see what wood you used?
WhistlingBadger:
Very nice! I kept a bunch of leaf springs from my daughter's old bed and intended to try this, but never did it. What a cool idea.
superdav95:
Very cool. Looks great. I did one kinda like this but I called it a platypus bow. It was a while ago when I posted it here. It was similar idea but incorporated into a 5 piece bamboo asiatic style bow. I’ll try a post a pic or two here if I can find it. Better yet here’s the link from my post on pa

nice thinking outside the box, and decent speeds from a prototype.
Maybe some uhmw, teflon or even a roller would work better than felt and leather if you wanted to increase efficiency
Pat B:
Interesting bow and well executed. :OK
